Oracle VM 2.1.5 - Issue restoring a pool

Dear All,
I had an issue during a pool restore. After the operation, no pools were more visible, and I had to create a new one.
I had the ability to create a new one server pool with a server pool master. Now, I need to add more servers, but the message is "OVM-2005 The server has been registered with some other pool, and can not registered again".
My question is how to remove the information from the server? Are these stored in a configuration file?
Thx,
Alessandro

# service ovs-agent stop
# rm -rf /etc/ovs-agent/db
# service ovs-agent startOn your Oracle VM Servers that need to be added back to the pool.

Oracle Apps Database severe Performance Issue

Hi Gurus,
This is regarding a severe performance issue running in our Production E-Business Suite Instance.
its an R12.1.3 setup installed with 11.2.0.1 Database. All the servers are Solaris Sparc 64 (Solaris 10)
Let me brief you about the instance first:
2 Node Application
- Main Application Server hosting web/forms/concurrent/admin servers
- iSupplier server hosting web services (placed in DMZ, used by external suppliers via Internet)
1 Node Database Server
Database Server Specs
Memory: 144G phys mem 20G total swap
- CPUs (8Px4cores, 2Px2cores)
- I/O - fiber channel hard disk (hitachi SAN Storage) - 7 DATA_TOPs (7 drives with RAID 5) - current DB size 1.6 TB
- at peak load, around 1000 concurrent forms session and 2000 web sessions.
We have been facing some serious performance issues and we raised an SR with Oracle Support.
The Support analyzed a bunch of AWR Reports we provided them and they asked us to increase the DB_CACHE from its current usage of 27G to 40G
So, we changed SGA_TARGET from 35G to 50G and PGA was increased from 35G to 40G as v$pgastat was also suggesting some lack of memory.
We made these changes last night.
Today morning we observed the following:
1. after start of office hours, we checked in the home page of EM DB Console that ADDM was showing reduced impact due to lack of SGA memory which seemed to be a good sign. Earlier it was around 25% which was now at 12%.
However, negative aspects were:
1. lot of swapping was reported by the System Administrators on the DB Server
2. High CPU Usage
3. EM DB Console showed a lot of "Concurrency Wait Class" events ...throughout the day lot of blocking sessions were reported which were making other sessions to wait.
in the AWR Report, following foreground reports were listed:

This is showing "library cache lock" events as the main culprit apart from the usual suspect, the CPU.
I am attaching the AWR Report. Please let me know if i should revert back the memory changes or is there anything else i could do.
Please help us resolving it because the performance is going worst.

Sql 2008 Issue restoring transaction logs....

** Update: I performed the same steps on the corresponding Dev and things worked as expected. Only our prod environment uses SnapManager for Sql (NetApp) and I'm beginning to suspect that may be behind this issue
Restored a full backup of the prod MyDB from 1/23/2014 in non-operational mode (so trans logs can be added). Planned to apply trans log dumps from 1/24/2014, 7am (our first of the day) to noon. But applying the 7am trans dump gave this error:
>>>>>
Restore Failed for this Server... the Log in this backup set begins at....which is too recent to apply to the database. An earlier log backup that includes LSN....can be restored.
>>>>>
That message is clear but I don't understand it in this case as the full DB dump was taken Thursday night and the tran logs I am trying to restore are all from Friday.
TIA,
edm2

** Update 2 **
I kept checking and am now definitely think that the NetApp SnapManager for Sql product (which is a storage based, not sql based, approach to DR) is the culprit. My view of the world was that a Full Sql Database backup is performed at 7pm and the
Sql translogs are dumped every hour beginning at 7:15am the next day. This extract from the SnapManager log indicates quite a different story. It takes a full database backup at 11pm (!) that night followed by a translog backup.
No wonder, when I try to restoring things using Sql utilities it doesn't work. BTW: I have no idea where SnapManager's dumps are stored.

Sorry I wasn't clearer. The Full database backups was taken on 1/23/2014 at 7pm. The trans logs I was trying to restore were from the next day (starting 1/24/2014 at 7:15am, 8:15am, etc.).   I could not find any Sql translog dumps taken after
the full backup (at 7pm) until the next morning's trans dumps (which start at 7:15am). Here is what I did:

Regarding my update note, the SnapManager for SQL product (which I was tolds simply uses VSS) runs every hour throughout the night. That's why I wondering if it could be interfering with the transaction log sequence.

Issue JDBC connection pool with Glassfish 3.1.2.2 and Oracle XE 11gR2

Hello,
I am experiencing an issue with pinging a JDBC connection Pool.
I installed the following without any warnings or errors:
Operating System: Oracle Enterprise Linux 5
Oracle XE 11gR2 (11.2.0.2.0) database
Glassfish 3.1.2.2
I will refer to the steps I did after the installations
1) In the .profile file of the OS I add the following:
JRE_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.6.0_31; export JRE_HOME
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_31; export JAVA_HOME
GLASSFISH_DIR=/u01/glassfish3
GLASSFISH_HOME=/u01/glassfish3/glassfish
DERBY_HOME=$GLASSFISH_DIR/javadb
OPEN_MQ_HOME=$GLASSFISH_DIR/mq
PATH=:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$JRE_HOME/bin:$PATH:$HOME/bin:$GLASSFISH_HOME/bin:$DERBY_HOME/bin:$OPEN_MQ_HOME/bin
export GLASSFISH_HOME
export DERBY_HOME
export OPEN_MQ_HOME
export PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh
2) I copied the ojdbc6.jar to the $GLASSFISH_HOME/domains/domain1/lib
3) I login to the Glassfish admin console and created a new JDBC Connection Pool.
Pool Name: ds_orasys
Resource Type: javax.sql.DataSource
Datasource Classname: oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource
User: [myschema]
Password: [myschema password]
URL: jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe
When I ping the connection pool I get the following message in the server log:
[#|2012-10-23T12:14:37.069+0300|WARNING|glassfish3.1.2|javax.enterprise.resource.resourceadapter.com.sun.enterprise.connectors.service|_ThreadID=22;_ThreadName=Thread-2;|RAR8054: Exception while creating an unpooled [test] connection for pool [ ds_orasys ], Connection could not be allocated because: Invalid Oracle URL specified|#]

I tried to use different jar files. I used ojdbc6dms.jar and ojdbc14.jar.
I also copied the jar files in the $GLASSFISH_HOME/domains/domain1/lib/ext directory as some people suggested. Still no luck. I keep getting the same error messages in the server.log
Can anybody help me out or point me to the right direction.
Thank you in advance

The error is in the URL. It was in front of my eyes and I couldn't see the error. I skipped the ':' before the '@' when I created the pool. It is working fine now.

Oracle EPM 11.1.2 issue with system-jazn-data.xml & HIT entries

Have been working on configuring Oracle EPM 11.1.2 and have one final issue from the diagnostic utility that I cannot figure out. Configuration sequence is as follows and each step is installed in its own database:
Step 1 - Foundation/Shared Services/Calc Mgr/EPMA/Essbase to a single relational DB. I am not configuring the web server until the final step.
Step 2 - Hyperion Performance Scorecard
Step 3 - Planning
Step 4 - Profitability
Step 5 - RA and configure web server.
I have used both SQL Server Express 2008 and Oracle DB 11g and get the same result.
When I complete the install, restart all of the services, and run the diagnostic utility, I get a failure with foundation services indicating that the file "system-jazn-data.xml" cannot be found. No real help is provided with the error message and have found no help in the docs or on the web. I have searched the disk and the file seems to be in the proper place per the docs. I have done partial configs and do not get the error. I have then compared the system-jazn-data.xml file from the successful config to the system-jazn-data.xml file from the failed config they are identical. Both files seem to be bloated with tens of thousands of lines, most of them blank.
I had reached a point where I thought the issue was related to Performance Scorecard and removed that step. I am now getting the error again.
Anyone seeing this issue? Is it just a bogus message in the diagnostic report and can be ignored? Any other thoughts?
Thanks
EPMCloud

Update - After going through the install many more times, I still do not know what the issue is, but I believe I have figured out how to resolve it. It appears that if you go back (after everything is installed and configured) and reconfigure the application server for Foundation services, the issue is corrected.
I am running some final test now and if I discover something different, I will update the post.

Quick Resolution tips
1) Use Bulk Processing feature BULK COLLECT with LIMIT and FOR ALL for DML instead of row by row processing
2) Use Data Caching Technique/Options to cache static data
3) Use Pipe Line Table Functions whenever possible
4) Use Global Temporary Table, Materialized view to process complex records
5) Try avoiding multiple network trips for every row between two database using dblink, Use Global temporary table or set operator to reduce network trip
6) Use EXTERNAL Table to build interface rather then creating custom table and program to Load and validate the data
7) Understand Oracle's Cost based Optimizer and Tune most expensive SQL queries with help of Explain plan
8) Follow Oracle PL/SQL Best Practices
9) Review tables and their indexes being used in the SQL queries and avoid unnecessary Table scanning
10) Avoid costly Full Table Scan on Big Transaction tables with Huge data volume,
11) Use appropriate filtration condition on index columns of seeded Oracle tables directly mapped to program parameters
12) Review Join condition on existing query explain plan
13) Use Oracle hint to guide Oracle Cost based optimizer to choose best plan for your custom queries
14) Avoid applying SQL functions on index columns
15) Use appropriate hint to guide Oracle CBO to choose best plan to reduce response time
Thanks
Praful

I understand you were trying to post something helpful to people, but sorry, this list is appalling.
1) Use Bulk Processing feature BULK COLLECT with LIMIT and FOR ALL for DML instead of row by row processing
No, use pure SQL.
2) Use Data Caching Technique/Options to cache static data
No, use pure SQL, and the database and operating system will handle caching.
3) Use Pipe Line Table Functions whenever possible
No, use pure SQL
4) Use Global Temporary Table, Materialized view to process complex records
No, use pure SQL
5) Try avoiding multiple network trips for every row between two database using dblink, Use Global temporary table or set operator to reduce network trip
No, use pure SQL
6) Use EXTERNAL Table to build interface rather then creating custom table and program to Load and validate the data
Makes no sense.
7) Understand Oracle's Cost based Optimizer and Tune most expensive SQL queries with help of Explain plan
What about using the execution trace?
8) Follow Oracle PL/SQL Best Practices
Which are?
9) Review tables and their indexes being used in the SQL queries and avoid unnecessary Table scanning
You mean design your database and queries properly? And table scanning is not always bad.
10) Avoid costly Full Table Scan on Big Transaction tables with Huge data volume,
It depends if that is necessary or not.
11) Use appropriate filtration condition on index columns of seeded Oracle tables directly mapped to program parameters
No, consider that too many indexes can have an impact on overall performance and can prevent the CBO from picking the best plan. There's far more to creating indexes than just picking every column that people are likely to search on; you have to consider the cardinality and selectivity of data, as well as the volumes of data being searched and the most common search requirements.
12) Review Join condition on existing query explain plan
Well, if you don't have your join conditions right then your query won't work, so that's obvious.
13) Use Oracle hint to guide Oracle Cost based optimizer to choose best plan for your custom queries
No. Oracle recommends you do not use hints for query optimization (it says so in the documentation). Only certain hints such as APPEND etc. which are more related to certain operations such as inserting data etc. are acceptable in general. Oracle recommends you use the query optimization tools to help optimize your queries rather than use hints.
14) Avoid applying SQL functions on index columns
Why? If there's a need for a function based index, then it should be used.
15) Use appropriate hint to guide Oracle CBO to choose best plan to reduce response time
See 13.
In short, there are no silver bullets for dealing with performance. Each situation is different and needs to be evaluated on its own merits.

Oracle 10g RAC+ASM - Storage Issue

I’ve an issue related to Oracle 10g RAC.
I’ve 2 node cluster each being Dell 2850 Server with RHEL 4.0
I’ve EMC CX300 SAN storage with following partitions
/orasoft     10 Gb          OCFS2 File system
/oracrs          2 Gb          OCFS2 File system
/orabackup      100 Gb          OCFS2 File system
The datafiles are on ASM which is not directly visible in OS.
I’ve common Oracle Home installed in /orasoft/db_1 which is shared by both nodes in cluster.
I’ve faced an issue recently related to EMC storage.
The /orasoft partition displays 1.4 Gb space available using df command.
With both nodes sharing the common Oracle Home (/orasoft/db_1), when ever I try to touch a file I get an error as No Space left on device. I’m unable to start any service with the same reason.
Is this setup correct ??
Can anyone help me with this storage issue ??

Hi,
If you create a new diskgroup you may be to add the same diskgroup to parameter file or spfile and which will be needing down time.
sugestion: Instead of creating new diskgroup you should to add disk to existing group.if you add asm disk to existing group your all problem will be solved and Oracle itself will be managing all.And than i am sure no need to add entry in the parameter or spfile like +db_create_file_dest=.....

Oracle 11g 64 bit on Linux - Restore failure in production database

Hi guru,
We used to take full hot backup with the help of BackupExec of Symantec in our production database.We have two different oracle database (not cluster).
We defined same policy for both .We defined schedule on Symantec to take full hot backup every night of database on tap drive.At any point of time we maintain only 2 full backup for each database on tap and then recycle it.
Yesterday suddenly storage of database failed for both.?It was complete failure so we did not have any option but to restore last night full backup.
It has done successfully for one database but when we tried to restore second from last night backup it thrown error :
channel ch0: ORA-19870: error while restoring backup piece BE_9kjsfol6_1_1
ORA-19507: failed to retrieve sequential file, handle="BE_9kjsfol6_1_1", parms=""
ORA-27029: skgfrtrv: sbtrestore returned error
ORA-19511: Error received from media manager layer, error text
then we tried to restore backup of last to last night and it gave again error :
channel ch0: ORA-19870: error while restoring backup piece BE_9djsaman_1_1
ORA-19507: failed to retrieve sequential file, handle="BE_9djsaman_1_1", parms=""
ORA-27029: skgfrtrv: sbtrestore returned error
ORA-19511: Error received from media manager layer, error text
But we have seen log of Symantec at the time of backup and it said that backup has successfully completed.
right now I am in big trouble I tried almost all possible combination of symantec to restore database but got no success.I used script generated by symantec and tried to run that on RMAN directly but it is throwing same error.
Please help me if possible an throw some light on exception (as I understand it says it is not able to find some piece on tap but we have not touched tap and tap media is completely safe.)
I am pasting complete text log generated by Symantec at the time of restore attempt:

Oracle 8.1.6 Installation Issues

I've tried to install Oracle 8.1.6 many times with no success. Installing the "Typical" configuration works fine until it is 90% done with creating the starter database. Then, I will get an, "end of file on communication channel" error message. The database creation stops at that point. If I try to create the database manually using SVRMGRL, I get a, "TNS:protocol adapter error" message. Attempts at reconfiguring the tnsnames, listener, or password files have failed.
The install platform:
- Windows NT 4.0 (with service pack 5)
(it may have an option pack as well)
- Intel Celeron 500 mhz
- 13 gb hard drive
- 256 mb ram

TCP/IP seems to be functioning properly considering that Oracle 8.0.5 will install and run perfectly.
Oracle 8.1.6 doesn't seem to have a problem writing to the registry or creating the services.
It is possible that the issue has to do with the NT installation itself because a co-worker was able to get it running on the same platform after a clean image was loaded.

Oracle 8.0.6 to Oracle 8.1.7 communications issue

We are trying to move data from objects in an Oracle 8.0.6 database running on HP-UNIX to a 8.1.7 database running on a Sun Solaris. Most of the time we have no issues, however we have seen our processes that utilize both databases to appear hung. We have a development and production version of both databases and have been able to duplicate the problem both with Pro C and SQLPLUS. It seems like the listener is timing out however a restart of the listener has no effect. We can duplicate the problem by not accessing the 8.1.7 side (Sun) from the 8.0.6 side (HP) for a few days. In order to correct we have to bounce the 8.1.7 DB. When our DBA issues a shutdown command on the 8.1.7 side while our processes are in this state it does not work. You'll have to forgive my lack of detail, our DBA as been handling all of the research. She has been working with Oracle support and they keep passing her around to different groups. One interesting note: we have a workaround that so far seems to work. By running cron jobs that analyze stats on the 8.1.7 database we have so far been able to prevent this from happening. On the production side (not in use yet) we have not implemented the cron jobs and we can duplicate the problem every other day. When our processes stall there are no errors reported and Oracle support has already reviewed our trace files and found nothing. Access to the 8.1.7 DB is performed by public synonym from the 8.0.6 database. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this or know of some different things we can check. We have ruled out coding because we can duplicate with various SQL and Pro C code. Any help or responses are greatly appreciated.

Chris,
This forum focuses on connectivity to non-Oracle systems. Your questions would be best on the General database forum.

Oracle 10G Express Edition backup issues

After a backup job is run on our Oralce 10g Express Edition Server our system users can't access their web login page -
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex - To access their databse.
What i need to know is this.
I do a daily backup of the Oracle DB manually, the one that comes with express edition, but when the backup is comple users can't access the afforementioned web address as i have stated
1 - Does anyone know what can be causing this?
2 - When i backup the database manually where does the database actually backup to?
3 - I was thinking of backing up the Oralce DB manually usning XE's own backup then running Symatec backup Software to backup this file.In the event of a system crash i could then simply restore the operating system (windows 2003), reinstall XE and import the file i had backedup with XE . Does this sound like a good solution

No idea why users cant access the login page, maybe trying to post on XE forum Oracle Database Express Edition (XE) may help for this.
But you may use Rman with XE, it is a best practice for Oracle B&R and it is easy to control the backup destination with Rman - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/admin.102/b25107/backrest.htm#sthref414
Also these demos may help - http://psoug.org/reference/rman_demos.html
Best regards.

Oracle 8i jdbc/Tomcat connection issues

Tomcat 4.1.8
Oracle 8i JDBC Driver
I have been able to create the DataSource as a global resource and as a local resource inside the context of the application.
The code hangs when it attempts to create a connection. I have been able to connect to the database and perform the necessary query in a standalone application to ensure that I actually can connect.

I figured out the issue ...
In the server.xml file the resource & resource params needed to be modified..
1. Set type to oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource
2. Set factory to oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSourceFactory
3. In the Java code cast the context lookup to an OracleDataSource instead of a java.sql.DataSource
Oracles DataSource does not subclass the jdbc DataSource for its OracleDataSource class everything works fine now.

New Oracle DBA - Need help with backup & restore procedure via RMAN

Hello everyone,
I've been a SQL Server DBA for 12 years now, but new to the Oracle space. My first assignment at work was to refresh our training environment with production. So with that said, I took a full backup of our production database via RMAN and backed up the Control File. I then copied both the Control File and full backup from our production environment to training. I followed the procedures listed in the URL below:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_rman_clone+copy_database.htm
I then connected to RMAN and executed a 'show all' which is as follows:
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
The CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP was set to ON but received a message that the database needed to be mounted, so, I mounted the database and made the changes, but when I shutdown the database and performed the startup nomount again, the settings were gone. Are these settings valid only when the database is mounted? How can I successfully refresh this training environment with production data? I'm at a standstill here so any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Pete

The CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP was set to ON but received a message that the database needed to be mounted, so, I mounted the database and made the changes, but when I shutdown the database and performed the startup nomount again, the settings were gone. These settings are persistent settings.So these information retain in control files.To reading information from control files database instance must be MOUNT or OPEN stage.Due to you have mount instance and try SHOW ALL command through RMAN.
Are these settings valid only when the database is mounted? Not only MOUNT also OPEN stage.
How can I successfully refresh this training environment with production data? I'm at a standstill here so any help would be very much appreciated.
There are several ways like duplication.But you take full backup from production database using BACKUP DATABASE through rman.In this case you will get also AUTOBACKUP for controlfiles/spfiles.Then copy these backup files and all available archive logs to training server and perform below steps.
1) You have set properly ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variable.After that first need restore spfile as
rman target /
startup force nomount;
restore spfile from 'autobackup_location';
startup force nomount;2) Now you have to restore controlfiie as
rman>restore controlfile from 'autobackup_location';
rman>alter database mount;
3) Now need catalog(it means register) all backup files and archivelogs in new restored controlfile as
   rman>catalog start with 'backuplocation';
   4) Finally you can restore and recover your database as below
   rman>restore database;
rman>recover database;
rman>alter database open resetlogs;
   If you want restore database to new location then before executing RESTORE DATABASE command you can use SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE clause.Firstly refer backup recovery guide in online documentation.

Oracle 10.2.0.3 Databases - Restore to New Server

We will soon be replacing an old server with a new server and I need to restore all Oracle 10.2.0.3 databases to the new server
and ensure Oracle functionality/connectivity with all databases.
I am in the process of testing and need advice and hopefully a 'Step by Step' process I can follow.
I am a systems admin - not an Oracle db admin - so please explain details of any commands I may have to run.
I have already tested once:
ran command prompt: sqplus / as sysdba
SQL>shutdown immediate;
Stopped all Oracle services:
Oracle Database
Oracle Listener
Oracle DBConsole
Installed Oracle 10.2.0.3 on new server
Ensured that the SID and all other Oracle services information matched the old server during installation on the new server.
Stopped all Oracle services on the new server (used the steps above).
Backed-up and test restored to new server.
Enterprise Manager shows: Listener Up Database Instance Down Agent Down
Any help would be appreciated

It would be good to know your operation system. I hope both new and old match or similar.
You can use RMAN to dumplicate you DB so you can follow [Creating a Duplicate Database on a New Host. Doc ID: 388431.1|https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=388431.1]
but a simple file system copy based manual duplication is also possible if new and old OS system is similar...
